Generally speaking, the economy has taken an upward turn and 2014 has been a positive year for Portico traders. We are extremely fortunate to have such a wide diversity of family and independent traders in our area. The fact that we have escaped the fate of so many other towns and high streets is largely due to the vision, investment, determination and sheer hard work of our local business community.

Now into its second year, Portico Loyalty Card Scheme is proud to be associated with and part of the local scene. From small and humble beginnings we currently have 3600 cardholders and this figure grows daily. Our target is to exceed 4000 cardholders by the end of next April when we shall be 2 years old.

Perhaps of more relevance is that between all of you as cardholders, you have collectively spent over £1,000,000.00 since we started. WOW and THANK YOU from all of our participating businesses. To our knowledge there is no other scheme quite like this for bringing businesses and customers together on such a proven scale.

Looking forward to 2015 we are aiming to add more businesses to our network so that collecting points for vouchers will become an even more rewarding experience.

Your local businesses will be there to welcome you and deeply appreciate your custom. HAPPY SHOPPING!
